Yellow Fever Panic

KEY WEST, Fla, Oct. S.-Strong north
easterly wind prevailed here yesterday,
increasing during the night, weather
cloudy with indications of cyclonic dis
turbances south Of this station. The
passengers by the steamer which ar
rived from Tampa last night confirm the
reports heretofore received of the APP
pearanoe and spread Of yellow fever at
that place. The details show that the
situation Is grave and has not
been exaggerated. Up to the
time Of the departure of
the steamer last night over thirty cases
and four deaths were reported. A ply
siOian from st. Louis, VINO was detained
at Tampa several days, says the widest
excitement prevails and that panic
has seized the Inhabitants. Fear of
fever seems to have supplanted reason,
no one seemingly knowing what treat
ment to adopt, and everybody, even the
physicians, seek safety in flight.

Garrett Says B. g. o. Telegraph is
Not Sold.
New YORK, Oct. S.-The Times prints
the following: at is no trade, gentle
med" said Mr.. Robert Garrett TO Ed
ward s. Stokes and a small party of
friends at the Hoffman house early last
evening He referred to the sale OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Te egraph Co. to jay
Gould. Mr.. Garrett said that in spite OF
everything said and done, the Baltimore
and Ohio Telegraph Co. had not vet
been absorbed by its hungry rival
Ii looked odd, he said, that an attempt
should be made to sell the property
while he was on the ocean, and not In a
position to interfere with tho plans in
which he was at least entitled to a no.
tice. Before Mr.. Garrett left the HOff-
man house he had impressed his hearers
with the idea that Gould might expert
enGe good deal of trouble be-
fore he could legally claim the
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph company
as his own. Garrett said that Gould
would under no circumstances get Il.
and o. Telegraph Co, for $5,OW,0OO He
would have to pay 4 good deal bigger
figure, for he was the last man in the
country to whom Garrett would be will
ing to sell. Robert Garrett did not
say all this until he he'd a
long talk with John X. Cowan
and other counsel. Mr.. Garrett made
opponents OF the Western Union and
friends of the competitors In the tele-
graph happy by declaring that he meant
fight, and felt sure of winning. He was
inclined to this way OF thinking through
knowledge that the Baltimore & Ohio
Telegraph Co., was indebted to him per-
sOnally in the not altogether trivial sum
Of between $1,000, 600 and $4,000,C0J.
